idk im just going to use some clamps and pipe down sizers if i have to the muffler that is on now doesnt have a mount to the body but the pipe after it closer to the tail pipe has a mount
-
Trust me, there is no protection from these aluminum "guards". Mine is purely cosmetic and turns out to be a great place to mount the off-road lights. It is as useless as the tail-light guards. I'm pretty sure that they would cause more damage that if they were not mounted.
ya im pretty sure im going to get the safari guard as a full brush guard is to price for me at the moment

Get a FLOWMASTER!
Flowmaster. They just have a "throatier" sound without the drone. I had them on two of my Astro vans (4.3 V6).
Spend the 20 bucks on a Cherry bomb turbo I like mine.
flow master is out of my price range at the moment and i kinda like the drone it doesn't bother me and the thrush turbo is the same as the cherry bomb turbo just different brand name
literately all of the thrush mufflers are the exact same as the cherry bomb mufflers

Not positive. I just recall a discussion a couple of years ago about this subject. The bar mounts to the frame behind the bumper with four bolts. The frame did not change with the face-lift, just the skin/plastics. I have the brush guard (aluminum light holder) on mine and this is how it is mounted on mine.
ok so that would make sense so all i would have to do is drill new holes to make it fit tight to the bumper
i want it just for looks not so much for protection
-
From what I understand, the pre-facelift Pathys ('96-99.0) have a shallower front bumper. The face-lift R50's ('99.5-'04) have a longer snout. I think that the post face-lift can be modified by drilling shallower mount points to make it "snug". It should be easy to modify if the bar is aluminum.
so if i understand what your saying is it will mount with no modification but will stick farther forward / farther away from the bumper on the pre face lift pathys

so on 4x4 parts .com they have the safari bars for the 199.9 and up pathfinders with that fit a 1997 pathfinder or will it have to be modified to fit

the thrush welded or the thrush turbo? which one will give me a better exhaust rumble over stock
at the moment my intake is louder than my exhaust
im not looking for something crazy loud but just a nice rumble with a better flow
the previous owners did a full new exhaust at 2" pipe off the cats, when i say full i mean full they put new headers, cats and pipe, but went with a walker quiet flow exhaust and its just to quiet for me
the way my exhaust is ran from the cats it comes down the body and just before the gas tank the left side cuts over and joins with the right side pipe then it goes up and over the axle and exits right next to my reese hitch(not dure if the brand is reese but it gets my point across)
when i look at almost all the other exhaust of the r50 pathfinders it comes down like mine but has a resonator and is a smaller pipe and exits from the side

Well, I made this:
did you just mount it to the rear bumper?
like put a metal bar behind the bumper and bolted it to it?
-
just ordered the lift
still haven't found somebody to cut and weld my bumper with out charging me a outrageous amount

Ya they said that the idle air was the reason for the light but the idle air doesn't cause the knock sensor to stop working

ya i guess that works haha never thought of that iv gone to the local jy probably more than one person should haha i have/had (trucks going to the jy next week) 2 chevys so go figure i had chevy probs
-
i know its the 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern but when you in the jy and the rims are in the back of a truck or next to one its kinda hard to know the bolt pattern other than the number of lugs

In the second pic you can see the le badge I did I also did the pathfinder badge

didn't say I liked having to do it but when the tire needs to get mounted and the boss is the one who suggests it, it gets done.
Those old bias tires like I said the old Mickey Thompsons, say a 15/39/15 on a 10" or 12" wide wheel, in cold weather (NY) the bead sometimes didn't want to cooperate LOL
i watched my uncle do this with a 44" super swamper last winter when he couldn't get the bead to set it scared the crap outa me(i wasn't paying attention) but he had to do it 2 or 3 times till it set right

I only plan on doing a 1.5 spacer in the front so I don't think I'll have a problem an the rims I'm running now have a -3.75 or -4 back spacing
I have tires in a 32" on 16" rims but the rims won't fit my pathfinder so it will be cheaper to pick up stock 16" rims at the local jy than to get new tires for the 15" rims

iv searched here and cant find what im looking for so i was wondering what stock rims that are 16" will fit the r50 right know i have 31s on aftermarket 15" rims and i have 32s on 16" stock chevy rims and i wanted to put them on once i got the lift in but the center hole in the rim is to small on the chevy rims so i was wondering if i could pick up stock 16" Nissan rims preferably the 01 and up rims and have them fit

re did my intake again
went from a 6" tube(in length) to a 4" tube i don't know how well its going to work but its for Saturday only so but i made a guard out of cardboard for my air filter because there's a mud run this weekend and the road to get there is a pit in its self so it made me think that if i get in to any mud or water where it hits the fan its going to cover my air filter and it doesn't cut much space away from the air filter to pull air all it dose is but a wall between the filter and the fan and it gets bent over by the hood i tested it to see if the intake would move it at all or if the wind would move it by going down the road at 60-65 mph and hammering on it and it didn't move and the road was went (little confused why as it hasn't rain but owell) and the card board was spotted but not soaked so i think it will do

i get between 15 -19 depending on how im driving but in a normal week driving to work and back is about 120 miles and i go through a little over a quarter tank of gas
i have a custom cold air intake that helps i went from eating half a tank of gas a week to a little over a quarter so
